GME EPIRB MT401FF Float Free 406/121.5 MHz Unrivaled in Technology, Performance and Price Water or Manually Activated Float Free 406/121.5 MHz Beacon.

Utilising the same innovative technology, the MT401FF is the latest exciting extension of GME’s family of rescue beacons. The MT401FF delivers all the features and benefits of the MT400, plus the addition of a Float Free housing and automatic water depth activation.

The MT401FF comes with an auto-release container for deck or rail mounting. Once removed from the mounting, the beacon can be switched on manually or automatically activated by floating in water.

Advantages of a 406 MHz EPIRB over the older analogue EPIRBs include worldwide coverage, position location accuracy to within 5 kms, and a more stable transmitted signal resulting in minimum detection time. Most importantly the addition of a unique digitally encoded message. This provides Search and Rescue authorities with vital information including the country of beacon registration and the identification of the vessel in distress. Incidences of false alerts are also greatly reduced along with the unnecessary deployment of valuable rescue resources. An auxiliary homing transmitter is included in the MT401FF to enable suitably equipped Search and Rescue forces to home in on the distress beacon.
